WCCO's new reporter is an Excelsior native

Kate Raddatz is the latest reporter hire for WCCO-TV. The Excelsior native -- who comes from WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wis. -- is a former intern at the Pioneer Press and WCCO. She will start her new job April 1.

"Telling stories in my hometown is something I've always wanted to do," Raddatz said in an email. "Being able to do that for the station I grew up watching, along with such an incredible team, is just the icing on the cake. I'm thrilled."
